Emirates consolidates Internet with Starlink
Emirates Airlines is working to unify the internet connectivity system across its wide-body fleet by replacing Viasat equipment with Starlink gear, which relies on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The airline has recorded over one million internet connections during seven months, consuming more than one petabyte of data. It plans to expand the service to 232 aircraft by mid-2027. Currently, it also utilizes a system with three Starlink antennas on Airbus A380 planes to improve coverage and performance, increasing connection speeds to over 2 gigabits per second, thus providing a faster internet experience that is closer to that on the ground.
